I saw a post about the Energy Departments app "eGallon" that lets you see what it costs for a gallon of fuel and what an equivalent amount of electricity costs where you live. So, of course, I had to see what electricity costs in other states as we pay a lot in California (Sorry, Hawaii, I know you pay more). Interestingly it looks like Washington state, where we have been thinking of moving, may be a good place to own an EV, only 89¢ an eGallon, vs the $1.79 we pay here.
But I cannot find any hard numbers, I don't know how to research, and then it occurred to me, I should ask here.
So if I am in the mood to move and the cost of electricity may be a big factor, what deals have people found out there? I have heard of people who can charge their cars for FREE certain hours in parts of the world where it's cheaper to give away electricity than shut a plant overnight. I have gotten calls asking if I might be interested if a program existed that charged my car for free, but only when IT wanted to, instead of just when I came home.
So what do you pay for electricity at home and where are you. Do you have to join a specific rate plan or is power just cheap there?
